Como Karata Kid

We began tearing the house up this morning. Oh my goodness, you would not believe the change in a place in 1 hour when 24 people begin demolishing at the same time. Let me tell you, Flamingo people are awesome. They all worked so hard and there weren't any bad attitudes or whinning. We are building teams and friendships as we rip up flooring, scrape off popcorn ceilings, tear out toilets and sinks, demold walls, pull up nasty carpets, chisel out tiles, and shop for everything we need.
The best experience of the day was, after finding out that the paint that was purchased by yours truly, was a latex paint going onto a high gloss oil based paint. We went back for the 3rd time today, to Sodimac.(Peru version or Home Depot)After changing our mind 4 times in one morning about which flooring to go with in the house, we were at the paint counter trying to sort out the bad paint choices made by again, me. The young man behind the counter tried to explain to me the best way to approach the paint flub to no evail, because as we all know, Sharon doesn't speak Spanish, and this gentleman doesn't speak English. He decided to come to the house and have a look for himself. He came over with us right from the store, still wearing his uniform, and surveyed the damage. After telling us that we needed to stay up all night and sand with a heavier grit sand paper, he began showing us how to sand. We let him show us for a while, because he was doing all the work and we were tired and just wanted to watch someone else work for a while. When he got smart, he turned to us and said, "Como Karata Kid". He wanted us to sand in a circular motion. Wax on, Wax off. Get it? Funny Guy
Here are some pictures of the before and durings of the day.
Tomorrow we will be having a guest blogger from the girls camp so you can see and hear about what they are doing.
God Bless
